I (still) cannot read, so with the logical goal of torturing myself, I’m just going to write about all the classic lit I WANT to read but sadly CAN NOT. (Long story short: I got a concussion. Details here). Also, I am aware that the P&P Book Thieves are technically on hiatus, but screw that….

We have some absolutely fantabulous news for y’all today. If you’ve been on our blog at all, you’ll probably have seen this picture floating around: This photo is…nice.
